You know, It’s really sad when you think about what really happened when Atem died.
Before Atem died, he told Seto to destroy the Millennium Pendant because his soul would be trapped inside. Atem used his name as the password to the lock that would seal Zorc in the Ring. Atem wanted to be sure that Zorc could never return, and so….
Atem would have to be gone as well.
Atem didn’t plan on coming back. Atem didn’t plan on someone repairing the Pendant and freeing his soul. Atem knew full well that if he does this, he is doomed to eternity alone in the dark. He’s someone who will not get a proper burial. Which means he will never go to heaven.
And still, he chose his own damnation. He damned himself so that the rest of humanity could be safe.
It’s especially painful when you think about the effect it had on his cousin Seto.
He told his best friend, the only family that he has left, to destroy an Item that contains his soul. He told Seto to strike every instance of his name out of history. To destroy his soul and forget about him. To knowingly take away any chance he’d have at salvation. At entering the Field of Reeds. He even made Seto king.
And Seto did what he was told. He shattered the Pendant to pieces. He scratched Atem’s name out of each and every record. He even scratched Atem’s name from the Tablet depicting their contest.
But Seto did something that really shows how he cared for his king.
Seto, instead of fully destroying the Pendant, instead places the Puzzle into a golden box, and then entombs it in what would have been Atem’s tomb.
He even carves a riddle on the box:
“Whosoever solves the Puzzle will be granted my dark knowledge and power.”
Maybe it was a little hope.
A subtle little hint to tip off someone in the future.
A quiet message telling them how to restore what he’d lost
Because maybe
Just maybe
If the Puzzle was repaired, Atem could be free. Atem could come home. Atem could go to Heaven and be with his family again.

Can you imagine Seto’s expression when thousands of years later (time is an illusion) he sees his beloved cousin walking to them, and theres a rush of relief and that tiny bud of hope flourishes and Seto cant do anything but run to his cousin and wrap him in a tight hug, mumbling mostly to himself “I knew you would come home- I knewit.”
